Trouble Summary

Trouble by Jesse Kellerman

It's late at night, and all Jonah Stem wants to do is to get home and fall into bed. Working long hours as a medical student, he's seen enough drama - not to mention enough blood - for one day But when he hears a scream ring out in the darkness, and an injured woman is on her knees and begging for her life, Jonah finds himself drawn into a dangerous and irrevocable situation. And this situation means trouble. Jonah's intervention will change not only his own life, but also the lives of those he cares about, in ways he never thought possible.

A heart-stopping thriller, masterfully told, Trouble is the story of what can happen when you find yourself in way over your head . . .

Trouble Reviews

Kellerman...shows that his impressive debut, Sunstroke, was no fluke with this gripping psychological page-turner that echoes the best of Hitchcock... Kellerman artfully conveys [a] descent into near madness, making the step-by-step degradation of a decent man who was in the wrong place at the wrong time plausible and chilling ' - Publishers Weekly (starred review) * 'A shivery psychological thriller...the talented Kellerman travels to Ruth Rendell country, and the bet here is that you won't have read a more nightmarish novel all year ' - Kirkus Reviews (starred review) *
[M]any perverse diversions and delights...unnerving...psychologically complex... That Kellerman maintains such a grimly hilarious perspective on his subject is its own twisted tribute to the survival instincts of writers who go down to the depths to ente * New York Times Book Review *
With a nerve-jangling creepiness rising out of well-drawn, absorbing characters, Trouble has a lot to say to 21st century readers about the gray zone where heroes become villains, victims turn aggressive and love and violence are different sides of the same coin. That these issues are being raised by a young writer more than a little familiar with mysteries...only adds to the fun of watching him deconstruct the myths and stereotypes of the genre and serve them up as something disturbingly and deliciously different, altogether perfect for our times * Los Angeles TIMES *
A major talent...a thriller so tightly wired that the reader's self-control shatters nearly to the level of protagonist Jonah Stem's...frightening suspense, wry humor and superior characterization and dialogue * Baltimore SUN *
